Hey there peeps, just thought I'd introduce myself on these forums and picked costuming to post it in as its what I do and why I'm here so I can post pictures as well.
My name's Dave, I'm 22 and from England. I've been costuming with the 501st UK Garrison for over a year now and I've got the bug. I'm currently working on two new costumes, an Anakin Skywalker Clone Wars one (that's still on the drawing boards right now) and I'm also getting well on with my favourite EU character, Cade Skywalker, which is my main reason for coming to the tcss, to build an accurate version of his lightsaber.
Anyhow here's some pics of my costume right now, Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader from ROTS.

A picture from when I first joined the UKG, got more accurat boots since then.

This is my CW tatoo Anakin, I did about 3 events in this, including CE but I then decided that the mechanical arm was a very important part of the costume and therefore said I'd never do it again until I made one, or lost an arm...

Sweet! I like the tattooed version of Anakin. You might as well cut an arm off so you can do that costume again. I'm sure someone can make you a mechanical arm for ya...

You may get burned for posting your welcome here though.........
Let me be the first to introduce you to UKJ-08, Under misc topics, a load of us UK members are meeting up for a saber dueling fest, interested? PM me or post in the shindig.
Definetly like the clone wars one!

LOL!!! That ain't me dude, that's my very good friend Flo from German Garrison, we met on the SOTS forum and then in person at CE. He's a top guy. When we were putting our pictures on SOTS, us ourselves had to make double takes, its a really easy mistake to make.

I think I saw you there. Were you wearing the singed gear to go with the matching Obiwan on the sat?

BTW: Welcome dude!

If you can provide any pics of Cade's saber, i'd be grateful. Looking to do one to go with my Imp.Knight & Legacy Sith sabers, but only see thebasic pics in the comics. Has Ms. Duursema released better shots?

No singed gear for me dude, thinking of getting some but for now I'm working on Cade and TCW Anakin.
Sent a PM about the saber explaining all.

Looks like I got you confused with someone else too! LOL!!

Here's who I was thinking of (in his unsinged robes on friday)

Yes, my photography skills suck, I know!


There's one of the other white sabers I pm'ed about too. The other one was dressed as Corran Horn & was using an Ultra 'Initiate'.

Were you going around with the Awesome Shaak Ti?

Yeah that one's me right there with fellow UKG members and the Obi-Wan from RL. Wasn't hanging round with the Shaak Ti, saw her only once but the head piece was pretty good.

That Obi was spot on! Well impressed with your one too dude!
